The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 112-100 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night.

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 117-113 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss the continuing buzz on the NBA buyout market, which still includes the Bulls and Russell Westbrook being linked by several sources. With the Bulls season circling the drain, does it make sense to take a short-term gamble on Russ mixing things up and adding some fire to a team that appears to have thrown in the towel? Beyond that, would Russ really want to come play for...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 100-91 loss to the Orlando Magic on Monday night. The Bulls were held to 91 or fewer points for the third time in their last 4 games, all losses. Matt, Big Dave and Mark discuss the ongoing ice-cold shooting from three-point range, as the Bulls shot 3-21 in this one. With each bad loss, and shooting a real problem in most of them, the front office's inactiv...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 97-89 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night. Familiar storylines were everywhere in this one, with a season-high in turnovers and a complete breakdown offensively in the 4th quarter. Oh, and another terrible night behind the three point line. Matt, Big Dave and Will discuss what - if anything - can change with this stale group for the remainder...

The Chicago Bulls did nothing at the NBA Trade Deadline and the worst part about it is that it doesn’t really come as a surprise. That’s because mediocrity has become acceptable within Jerry Reinsdorf’s franchises and it makes you wonder why he even bothers any more. Join Kevin Kaduk and Luke Stuckmeyer as they work through the Bulls standing pat with a flawed team in the ever-improving Eastern Co...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 116-105 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night. A couple hours after Bulls VP Arturas Karnisovas explained his reasons for making no deadline trades, the Bulls displayed their familiar trait of stinking it up from the three point line (5-26).

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 104-89 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night. The Bulls erased a 15-point deficit to take the lead late in the 3rd quarter, but a 14-point 4th quarter (their second such quarter of the night) doomed their chances in Memphis. Matt, Big Dave and Will discuss the Bulls' familiar problems - turnovers, three point shooting, late game execution - as a fr...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 128-104 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. The Bulls Big 3 had another balanced night, as Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic combined for 61 points.

Zach LaVine led the way with 36, while DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic each chipped in with 20+ points as well. Matt and Big Dave discuss how encouraging it wa...

Tom Brady has seven Super Bowl rings. Michael Jordan has six NBA Finals rings. We’re biased in Chicago and will never admit that anyone other than MJ is the greatest athlete of all time. But what would a case look like for Brady to be crowned as the all-time sports GOAT? Kevin Kaduk and Luke Stuckmeyer try their damn best (though not really) on the latest episode of THE Chicago Sports Podcast. Als...

Are national media podcasts incapable of creating trades that make sense for the Chicago Bulls? DeMar DeRozan AND Nikola Vucevic for those three Blazers? Zach, Lonzo and Woo for WHO from that Lakers roster?!? Are y'all for real with this mess?!? Will Gottlieb and Mark Karantzoulis are here to smack some sense into the trade machine on today's CHGO Bulls Podcast. Score the best seats in the house a...

Matt and Big Dave also discuss where the heck this Andre Drummond came from. He made history with a double-double in just 1...

The CHGO Bulls crew continue the trade talk leading to the NBA’s trade deadline with two more “Bullish or Bullsh*t” trade proposals.

Matt and Big Dave offer their thoughts on the hypothetical trades, including whether or not they’d make those deals if they were in Arturas Karnisovas’...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 108-103 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night. The Bulls coughed up a 19-point lead, because that's what this team does now.

And what's the deal with these failed inbounds plays...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 128-109 win over the Orlando Magic on Saturday night. The Bulls Big 3 of Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic combined for 90 points, and Patrick Williams had a strong contributing game with 16 points and 6 rebounds. Matt, Big Dave and Will discuss what, if anything, this win does for a Bulls team still barely clinging to the East's playoff picture...

Chicago sports are in a bit of a rut if you haven’t noticed. It’s been 37 years since the Bears won a Super Bowl and 25 since the Bulls won an NBA championship. The White Sox are just behind them with an 18-year old drought. In the old days, we used to blame things like farm animals and baseball players who threw World Series. But what’s to blame now? Kevin Kaduk and Luke Stuckmeyer are joined by...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 111-96 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday night. Another game, another complete meltdown.

Then, to round things, a quick discussion on the trade deadline and what the Bulls should do....

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 111-100 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night. The Bulls got off to a slow start in their return game from Paris, making just 5 field goals in the first quarter but erupting for 40 points in the 2nd. A feisty Hawks team clawed back in the 3rd quarter behind 12 points by star guard Trae Young. But the Bulls buckled down and closed this one out. Six Bull...
